COLONEL LOSING LEAD
THE KANSAS VOTE;
ILLINOIS VERY CLOSE
Late Official Figures To-Day, Sub
ject to Further Revision, Indicate
That Roosevelt Leads Taft
in Popular Vote by 766,000.
WILSON WINS 39 STATES;
415 ELECTORAL VOTES
Roosevelt Carries Six States With
104 Electoral Votes; Taft Three
States and 12 Electoral Votes.
Gov. Wilson, aixording to the latest revised returns,. will "have ttn
electoral vote of not less than 39 States, with the possibility of one mor.
State heing added to ihe grand total.
He will have a Democratic Congress with him in carrying out Dem-,
OCntk policies. There will be a working Denuvratic majority in the
House of Representatives of 143, the Democrats having 289 memberv
the Republicans 112 and the Hull Mooscrs 14. In the Senate the
Democrats will have a majority of 12, with the possibility of a still
wider margin, as the legislative result in four States is still in doubt. The
Democrats will have S4 votes, the Republicans 36 and the Dull Moosers 2.
Mr. Wilson's plurality in New York State is 205,163. Taft carried
the State in 1908 by 202,602. Wilson's vote was 32.000 in excess of that
given to Bryan in that year. Hie total Republican vote, as compared with
1908, discloses a Republican tailing off of 54,ooo. The new figures show
how utterly baseless was the Bull Moose prophecy that Roosevelt would"
draw from the Democratic vote. Taft beat Roosevelt in the State by 73,
302, thus insuring regular Republican control of that party in State affairs.
Roosevelt's big margin over Taft in Illinois, Pennsylvania and
Michigan will more than offset Taft's advantage in New York, but the
guestion of which candidate leaJs in the popular vote in the country 1.
still tar from decisive.
LATEST SEWS ON ELECTORAL VOTE.
On practically complete returns from many States and partial figure
00 the others the result of yesterday's Presidential election was:
Wilson 39 States 415 electoral votes
Roosevelt 6 States 104 electoral votes
Taft 3 States 12 electoral votes
The table of the popular vote by States printed on another page sub
ject to further revision, shows:
Wilson's popular vote 7,047,334
Roosevelt's popular vote 4,545,706
Taft's popular vote 3,779,072
Wilson lacked 1,332,031 of a majority of the popular vote.
Senator Dixon, campaign manager fur Roosevelt, In a statement is
sued to-day, glaats over the wreck of the Republican party and declare,
the Progressive is now the dominating rival of the Democr.i's. "The old
Republican organization," he says, "lias become the third party in the
United States. 1 doubt if it will ever again muster strength enough to
nominate a candidate for PresiJeni."
STATES SAID TO BE DOUBTFUL.
More complete returns this afternoon narrowed the race for Pre
dent in Kansas to a very close margin. As the counties report the'--complete
vote, Roosevelt's lead has been reduced and he is now running
second. Wilson has carried counties that hitherto have been soli.i
Republican.
Some big counties conceded to Roosevelt are yet to report thei.
returns, but the trend appears to be favorbale to Wilson.
The Democratic State Committee :laims Pennsylvania for Wrlswn
but the indications pointed to 25,000 for Roosevelt over Wilson.
With less than half the precincts Illinois, outside of Cook County
reported Roosevelt's lead over Wilson in the State has been reduced to
less than 10,000. Returns trom 1,3oo precincts out of 2,788 in Illinois,
outside of Cook County give : Taft, 81,069; Wilon, I26,u99; Roosevelt,
115,121. The same precincts in 1908 gave Taft, 204 t48;Bryn, 140.17J.
In Texas Roosevelt ran a bad fourth. De'-s poHed almost exactly
two votes to Roosevelt's one. Out of a total vote of about 3oo,ooo
Wilson 'ectived 199,000, Taft 38,200, Debs 12,600 and Roosevelt
6,300. The Socialists gained 5,000 over l9o8.
